Five Great Gifts For Giving List B 2016

Good Morning,

Today I would like to share five items from five shops on etsy.

From: Sue's Arts

turquoise pendant, Turquoise stone, turquoise necklace, turquoise stone jewelry, natural stone

Beautiful, elegant, unique and one of a kind half moon Howlite Turquoise stone.

Approx size 29x14x5mm

Turquoise is one of the oldest protection amulets, and was also known as a symbol of wealth in many ancient cultures.

If given a turquoise by a loving friend, that stone would protect the wearer from negative energy and bring good fortune. The turquoise is the symbol of friendship. It also brings peace to the home.

This stone is a very personal and meaningful stone to one who wears it. Turquoise takes on the characteristics of the owner.

Five Great Gifts For Giving Men's Edition

Good Morning,

Today we have five truly unique and individual items for the men on your list.  All items are from the talented artists on The Craft Star.  Masculine, sturdy, strong and handmade designs make for wonderful and unexpected gifts thus holiday.

From: Neolithia

Stone Alien pendant necklace hand carved from Dracocite natural healing stone


This is "Bug Eyes", both beautiful and natural stone wearble art, hand carved from two different pieces of Dracocite. The translucent green hand carved beady eyes are strung on natural hemp cord that holds them in the ET's head. The adjustable closure beads are also hand carved from Dracocite, eliminating the use of metal. Wear this rare healing stone and feel its power. This is truly a piece of fantasy pulled from the mind of the Beastmaster and is also signed.

Dimensions: 1 9/16" W x 1 1/4" H x 3/8" Thick

The artist holds a BS in geology and presents this unique personal sculpture not only as "green" but as a statement against ecodamage.  It was made from scrap from a 1901 ornamental stone cutting operation and if allowed, will slowly degrade by sequestration of CO2, the only natural stone to alter in this manner.  Minimal care will prevent this alteration, however.

By request and for a nominal fee, I will write the "life" story of this particular piece of stone, illustrating the "living" nature of this stone's amazing genesis, beginning over 300 million years ago before multicellular life was known to exist on Earth.


From: Metal Ivy Jewelry Designs 

Deer Pendant Necklace, Brass Metal, Rhinestones and Chain




Gorgeous brass deer pendant necklace attached to a matte brass chain. Deer has clear stones to add sparkle and shine. The necklace measures 22.5" and has a 3" extender. Deer pendant measures 1" wide by 1 3/4" long. A great necklace that will complete your holiday look.

Pantone Color of The Year for 2016

Good Morning,

This morning's post is brief, as we introduce Pantone's Color of the Year for 2016, there are two.


Basically they are pastel pink and blue.  Nice, but not very designer friendly, unless you design for children under five.


Although there is a gemstone Rose Quartz that can be found occurring naturally as a very soft pastel pink, it can also be dyed to a uniform deeper color.  The Alchemists Vessel carries a limited selection of Rose Quartz Jewelry.




This bracelet has sold, but as example of the very soft pink color of the natural stone.

Or you can always go with good old pink.

Precious Time Chainmaille Watch





Pastel Blue is a bit harder, about as close as the artist can get to it is Turquoise, or Blue Lace Agate, light blue Czech Glass beads in colors like "aqua" or "ice blue".

Blue Lace Agate Sterling Silver Earrings




2016, is going to make for interesting color combination and jewelry design.

In hope you have enjoyed this brief look at next year's favorite colors.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.  Don't forget to stop  by the shop and see what is available.   Looking forward to serving you this year and next.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Finding your Target Market

Good Morning,

This morning I wanted to share some wonderful tips from another blog post on finding your Target and Niche Markets.  I have left out the personal story that accompanied the original post and have tried to leave it at just the tips.  Links are also included.  Originally posted by Brenda Lavell in August 2013, it has just been re-posted or circulated on Etsy as of last week. I hope you will find the information useful.



The Difference Between Target and Niche Markets

Target market is a group of potential customers who share characteristics related to your product. For instance, “knitters” could be my target market.

Niche market further defines a target market. For instance, “beginning female knitters who love Etsy, ages 20 to 35, living in New England” is more defined.

When you define and understand your niche market, you can target your marketing efforts to that group of people.


Narrowing Your Niche Market

Further defining your niche market is crucial to finding your actual ideal customers — those who will become true fans for your business and products. A true fan wants to hear everything about your business, including sales, tutorials, and new product launches.
Posting product links 24/7 to thousands of non-targeted social media followers is unfocused and not likely to attract very many buyers. However, offering Coupon Codes for your mailing list of ideal customers is targeted and very likely to result in many sales.
I don’t need to tell you that promoting your business all day long is exhausting — it’s a lot of work for little return. Promoting is about me me me — your products. Marketing is about you — your customers’ needs and problems. When you know who those customers are, you know or can more accurately guess their needs.


How to Find Your Ideal Customer(s)

A target market is a group of characteristics, not a person. You can personalize your target market by creating your very own ideal customer, a fictional character with individual, human characteristics — a true fan that  you make up on paper or just in your head.

Then, instead of marketing to a group of people, you market to just one person, your true fan.

Get the Ideal Customer Worksheet
To create this ideal person, you need to dive deep into this persona’s psyche. There really is no right answer to who this person is, as long as your creation makes sense (for example, “a super modern fashionista who doesn’t knit” does not make sense for my yarn shop). Use this target market worksheet template to help you create your own ideal customer.

Once you’ve created your ideal person to market to, make sure you truly understand your customer’s needs and problems. How do your products fulfill and solve both? Your marketing should successfully connect your ideal customer’s problems with your products.


Engaging With Your Ideal Customer(s)

Write everything specifically to your ideal customer, from product descriptions to blog posts to emails. Use your customer’s perspective and address his/her needs and problems in your own voice.


Let’s work through an example:

Jewelry is a huge category on Etsy. Jewelry lovers have different needs (for example, metal sensitivities) and problems (for example, the perfect earrings for a special date).

How do you connect with your ideal customer who is a true fan of your particular style and construction of earrings, while addressing both her needs and problems?
  1. First, make sure your photos are truly stunning, and that your text and keywords are specifically written to your customer from his/her perspective, using your authentic voice. Success Tips: Read these photography pointers and How to Write Enticing Item Descriptions.

  2. How do your policies and About page measure up? Make sure both are also primed for your ideal customer. Success Tips: Read Creating Policies That Work and Tips for Your Shop’s About Page.

  3. Write blog or other social media posts that engage (about how you problem-solve, behind-the-scenes glimpses, etc.), with keywords specific to your customer and links to your products. Success Tip: Read these social media tips.

  4. Use your mailing list to draw people back to those blog posts as well as to your products directly.

  5. Balance links to your products with valuable content.
When your potential customer turns into a real customer, start building actual relationships. Learn about their interests and needs by talking with them via your Facebook business page or at craft shows. You’ll be able to further refine your niche market while turning one-off customers into repeat buyers.

I thought there was a “trick” to finding your target market, then learned that finding my target market is just a process. Defining my ideal customer was key, as well as effectively engaging via social media.

You can find your own target market by creating and engaging with your ideal customer — I’d love to hear your insights and questions in comments.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Guitar, Handmade Mosaic Guitar "Broken Songs and Melodies"

This little guy started life as a guitar for a child. When I found it, it was tucked away in someones attic just longing to have new life breathed into it, as I do with all my recycled mosaic items. An up cycled, recycled piece of art. Many, many hours and weeks later I ended up with what I call "Broken Songs and Melodies" mosaic guitar. This almost 31 inches long, formerly Acoustic Mosaic Guitar evolved from unusable to a decorative wall hanging for the visual enjoyment of the music lover, music artist, friends of music or a protégé. Ready to be hung in your home, office, class room , studio or even a gift for that special one. Display this baby where the sunlight hits it and it will throw off lil sparkles and reflections from the mirror glass on the neck. Every lil cut Mosaic Piece I placed with utter loving care so as to preserve some of the patterns of the Vintage China Plate Rims. One small piece at a time, utterly time consuming, but I love what I do. I covered this guitar with a mosaic of broken, cut fine china porcelain plate rims and complimented it with stained glass. The neck is covered in mirror glass in the warm tones of bronze, peach and silver. I restrung the two strings which were left with burgundy pearls. It is trimmed out in ivory gimp to protect your furniture or hands while handling it. Have you ever tried to restring a guitar string with single pearls, “boyng” the steel string went and pearls are flying all over my studio. It took 5 attempts to finish the re-stringing... ;o) A little note: * all of our items are packaged with care are wrapped special just for you. * if you have a large order...we will combine shipping and use priority mail, if at all possible... * if the postage is in major excess...a refund will be given. *we are friendly, so please feel free to drop a note any time!

 This miniature mouse scene is built within a wooden sconce handmade of 3/8" wood. It is 9" in height, 4" wide and 4" deep. It can be set on a shelf or hung from a peg. The second photo shows the whole in the top for hanging. The scene is Halloween Night and Mama and Child Mouse are Trick or Treating. Mama is dressed in a black plaid outfit with orange pumpkins on it. Baby is dressed as a Ghost. Mama carries Black Jack-o-Lantern bag with lollypops and the Baby carries a teenie tiny handmade strawbasket with candy corn on it. They are accompanied by their faithful black cat Minerva. The background is complete with spooky black wooden tree, a miniature cornstalk, a black picket fence and circling sparkly ghosts. In the foreground sits a handmade miniature jack-o-lantern. This is a ooak miniature scene. The back is signed and dated by the artist. Destined to be a collector's item for sure.
